I'm supposed to be moving in with a friend further away who owns a business and will be employing me sometime this year, but I honestly don't know if that's going to work out
I think you should start from there and see what happens next, don't think too much ahead and take it slowly from there. To have some purpose or stability like a job I think would be a step in the right direction, both from a psychological and financial point of view.
Fun fact, in Italian "w" is sometimes referred to as "doppia v" which is "double v".
